Very dark and contrasty. It benefits greatly by increasing the
mid-range brightness which also reduces the contrast. I note that the
upper end of the histogram seems to have a fair amount of holes. Maybe
overprocessed as a JPEG? In any case brightening the mid-range is, I
think, all that's required.
